In the eighth century the Roman Catholic Church choose the eve of October 31st to be a special time to honor the Saints in Heaven. Halloween is the vigil of All Saints Day. And All Saints Day is a Holy Catholic Feast Day; an official Holy Day, set aside for Catholics to glorify God, by honoring the Saints in Heaven.

However, I am sorry to say - for most people living in Anoka (including most of Anoka's Catholics) the evening of October 31st is a time to celebrate, in a secular way, the combination of both a vigil of an ancient Celtic pagan rite, as well as an ancient Satanic witches' meeting; and they erroneously call their secularized pagan/Satanic celebrations "Halloween" celebrations. By doing so they commit a sacrilegious act, they desecrate Halloween.

Therefore, I believe that both their eve of October 31st celebrations, as well as their sacrilegious definition for the hallowed name Halloween are radically evil. And I also believe that it is time for all of Anoka's Catholics to start celebrating Halloween's true meaning, so that Anoka can fulfill its divine providential destiny, and become known throughout the world as the hallowed "Halloween Capital of the World".

The Encyclopedia Britannica says:

Halloween and Saints:

(1.) "The occasion of Halloween (Allhallows Even) is known as the vigil of Hallowmas or All Saints' day, Nov. 1, observed by the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches. Pope Gregory III (731-741) assigned this date for celebrating the feast." The vigil of All Saints Day, which constitutes Halloween in the church calendar, is as old as the feast."

Eve of Samhain and goblins:

(2.) In pre-Christian Europe, the Celtic year ended on the eve of October 31st...or, in other words, on the Druids' eve of Samhain. "The eve of Samhain was celebrated with both religious and agrarian rites. For the Druids, the eve of Samhain was both the end of the summer and a festival of the dead. It was an occasion when fairies, witches and goblins terrified the populace. In some places, girls and boys dressed in clothing of the opposite sex and, wearing mask, visited neighbors to play tricks. These activities generally resembled the harmful and mischievous behavior attributed to witches, fairies and goblins."

All Saints' Day was established to displace the pagan celebration of Samhain:

(3.) "The Christian church sought to eliminate or supplant the Druid festival of the dead by introducing the alternative observation of All Saints' day, Nov. 1. This feast was established to honor the Saints but it failed to displace the pagan celebration of Samhain."

Likewise, Halloween (Allhallows Even) was established to displace the pagan celebration of the Eve of Samhain. The Christian church sought to eliminate or supplant the vigil of Samhain, by introducing the alternative observation that constitutes the vigil of All Saints' Day (Allallows Even) or Halloween. Therefore, Halloween was established to honor the Saints, but it failed to displace the pagan celebration of the vigil of Samhain.

And now-days America's Catholic bishops have fail to even try to displace the modern-day secular celebrations of the vigil of Samhain, by encouraging their people to celebrate the true meaning of Halloween.

Present-day eve of October 31st state sponsored celebrations, erroneously and sacrilegiously called "Halloween celebrations", are, in part, composed of a secularized celebration of a Satanic witches' meeting.

(4.) In the Encyclopedia Britannica it is stated that: "As Christianity spread gradually over Europe...it attempted to displace or suppress pre-existing pagan cults...Though the church was able to destroy...the outward forms of worship of these heathen religions...it could not completely eradicate the faith and beliefs of their priest and worshipers. These found an outlet during the middle ages in witchcraft which was devoted to the worship of Satan. One of their most important devotional meetings was held on the eve of Oct. 31st, witches were alleged to fly to these meetings on broomsticks, accompanied by black cats."

Throughout America....the combination of both a popular secular attitude, as well as a popular Protestant attitude are (in part) responsible for a hallowed Catholic Halloween being desecrated and degraded to a secularized pagan/Satanic festival.

(5.) "Though some churches observe Halloween with religious services, most persons regard it as a secular festival. This reflects the prevailing American Protestant attitude toward a great many church festivals and holy days."

(6.) "The secular character of contemporary culture is also reflected in the public neglect of the religious significance of Halloween."

I believe that because Anoka's [eve of October 31st] civic festivities predominantly celebrate, in a secular way, the combination of both the eve of Samhain rites as well as a Satanic witches' meeting, that an abbreviation of the words...eve of Samhain/Satanic witches' meeting.... should be used as the name that designates their eve of October 31st festivities, and not an abbreviation of the consecrated words Allhallows Even (Halloween).

The scary pagan and evil Satanic costumes, storefront paintings, logos, emblems...etc. that are traditionally seen on the eve of October 31st...originated, not from the Catholic Church's ancient holy evening called Allhallows Even or Halloween, but from a combination of both the eve of an ancient pagan Druid festival called Samhain, as well as an ancient Satanic witches' meeting, where Satan worshipping witches were alleged to fly to meetings on broomsticks.

Therefore, I believe that the image of an evil Satanic witch flying on a broom, the image that is used in Anoka's official "Halloween" logo and publications, is an example of Anoka's participation in a common mainstream American tradition of radical irreverent misbehavior.

This irreverent misbehavior is responsible for both the radical profanation of the hallowed name Halloween as well as the radical profanation of the holy evening that the hallowed name Halloween designates. This irreverent radical injustice, justifiably offends conscientious reverent people living in Anoka, especially good Catholics who know and celebrate Halloween's true meaning.

I believe that it is radically wrong for civic leaders to sponsor a secularized pagan/Satanic religious festival where Satanic religious symbols and images are traditionally prevalent. And because Anoka claims to be the "Halloween Capital Of The World" I believe that it is even more so wrong for Anoka's civic leaders to sponsor October 31st secularized pagan/Satanic religions festivals. And for Anoka's Church of Saint Stephen to participate in these secularized pagan and Satanic festivals is very sacrilegious.

Hence, I am on a holy mission, especially focusing in on Anoka's popular eve of October 31st attitudes and festivities, to both redeem the consecrated name Halloween from its common mainstream American sacrilegious definition as well as to redeem the holy evening of October 31st from its state sponsored secularized pagan/Satanic religious festivities.

I prophesied over 40 years ago that Anoka would become known throughout the world as the "Halloween Capital of the World" because of the success of a futuristic Anoka, Minnesota Church of Saint Stephen social justice ministry, a ministry with a mission to redeem both the name Halloween from its common mainstream American sacrilegious definition as well as to redeem the holy evening of October 31st from its state sponsored secularized pagan/Satanic religious festivities.

This evil City of Anoka "Halloween" logo is located near the City Hall.





This evil "Halloween" logo is located on the back of the Anoka Drug Store.  This evil, in part, "Halloween" logo was the logo of an Anoka boat club. Boat Clubers who once belonged to the Anoka Two Rivers Boat Club still have reunions and display their evil logo. ------
